🎚 OSHChip (OpenSourceHardwareChip)

The most striking thing you see is that it is the size of a 16 pin DIP, and unlike other processor boards, it is designed from the start to be compatible with the white breadboards that are commonly used by electronic hobbyists, robotics projects, and oh so many hackaday projects.

Unlike other processor boards that are far larger, OSHChip can be plugged into the middle two rows of a bread board, and it doesn’t cover the connected holes that you will be connecting to.

Specifications:
▫️ ARM Cortex-M0 32 bit (16 MHz)
▫️ 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy radio
▫️ Broad range of built-in Peripheral functions
▫️ 256 KBytes of Flash memory for program and data
▫️ 32 KBytes of SRAM
▫️ Support for in-system debugging including breakpoints

📄 3 Advantages To Using A Multicore Microcontroller

Multicore microcontrollers undoubtedly provide development teams with many advantages to help them solve the problems with ever more complex systems.

The ability to separate the application into areas of concerns or domains is currently a leading driver for adopting multicore microcontrollers.

The ability to balance performance with energy consumption and distribute the workload are also major advantages when considering moving to a multicore solution.

While there are only a few multicore microcontrollers currently on the market, over the next decade we will undoubtedly find them in ever increasing numbers in our designs.

🎛 Top 5 most powerful Arm SBCs & Devkits in 2021

While companies like Hardkernel, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and FriendlyArm offers affordable, great little Arm Linux development boards that are suitable for many projects, in some cases, your requirements may lead you to spend a bit more for either extra CPU power, more memory, AI processing power, faster I/Os and so on.

▫️ Snapdragon 888 Mobile Hardware Development Kit
Equipped with Snapdragon 888 octa-core processor (1x Cortex-X1 core, 3x Cortex-A78 cores, and 4x Cortex-A55 cores), the board also boasts 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB of UFS storage, HDMI 2.0 & DisplayPort 1.4 video outputs, support for up to six cameras, and much more.

▫️ Jetson AGX Xavier for AI & Robotics
Jetson AGX Xavier developer kit is the most powerful of the lot with an 8-core ARM v8.2 processor, a 512-core Volta GPU, and AI accelerators that deliver up to 32TOPS of processing power for AI workloads. The kit also integrates 32GB RAM, 32GB eMMC flash expandable with a UFS card, HDMI 2.0 and MIPI DSI video interface, up to 16x 2-lane CSI camera interface, and more.

▫️ Qualcomm RB5 Robotics Platform
The board is equipped with Qualcomm QRB5165 octa-core Kryo 858 (Cortex-A77) CPU @ up to 2.84 GHz, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 128 GB of UFS3.0 storage, 15 TOPS of AI processing power, supports 3D depth cameras and offers plenty of expansion I/Os.
The platform can run Linux, Ubuntu, and Robot Operating System (ROS) 2.0, and supports OpenCL and OpenGL ES APIs, as well as OpenCV for computer vision applications.
